abstract：:Vaccination is the most promising strategy to reduce the incidence of pneumococcal infection. Although there are vaccines available, all of them are based on polysaccharide antigens (conjugated or not). In addition to their high cost, those vaccines do not cover all serotypes. To overcome these hindrances, we evaluate...
